10-Bit Digital-to-Analogue Converter
Description
The WM5615 is a 10-bit voltage output digital-to-
analogue converter (DAC) with a buffered reference input
(high impedance). The DAC produces a maximum output
voltage that is twice the reference voltage and the DAC is
monotonic. The device is simple to use, running from a
single supply of 5V. A power-on reset function is
incorporated to ensure repeatable start-up conditions.
Digital control of the WM5615 is over a 3-wire serial bus
that is CMOS compatible and easily interfaced to industry
standard microprocessor and microcontroller devices. The
device receives a 16-bit data word to produce the
analogue output. The digital inputs feature Schmitt
triggers for high noise immunity. Digital communication
protocols include the SPI
TM
, QSPI
TM
and Microwire
TM
stand-
ards.
The 8-terminal small-outline D package allows digital
control of analogue functions in space-critical applications.
The WM5615C is characterised for operation from 0
o
C to
70
o
C. The WM5615I is for operation from -40
o
C to 85
o
C.

Notes:
1. The relative accuracy or integral nonlinearity (INL),
sometimes referred to as linearity error, is the
maximum deviation ot the output from the line
between zero and full scale, excluding the effect of
zero code and full scale errors (see text).
2. The differential nonlinearity (DNL), sometimes
referred to as differential error, is the difference
between the measured and ideal LSB amplitude
change of any two adjacent codes. Monotonic means
the output voltage changes in the same direction (or
remains constant) as a change in the digital input
code.
3. Zero-scale error is the deviation from zero voltage
output when the digital input is zero (see text)
4. Zero-scale error temperature coefficient is given by
E
ZS
TC = [E
ZS
(T
max
) - E
ZS
(T
min
)] /V
ref
x 10
6
/ (T
max-
T
min
)
5. Gain error is the deviation from the ideal output (Vref
- 1LSB) with an output load of 10kΩ, excluding the
effects of zero error.
6. Gain temperature coefficient is given by EG TC =
[E
G
(T
max
) - E
G
(T
min
)] /V
ref
x 10
6
/(T
max
-T
min
).
7. Zero-scale offset error rejection ratio (E
ZS
-RR) is
measured by varying the V
DD
from 4.5V to 5.5V DC
and measuring the proportion of this signal imposed
on the zero-code output voltage.
8. Gain error rejection ratio (E
G
-RR) is measured by
varying the V
DD
from 4.5 to 5.5 V DC and measuring
the proportion of this signal imposed on the full-scale
output voltage after subtracting the zero scale
change.
